11 Thin Ties

[JohnnyGringo]

I'm cleaning out some of my skinny tie collection, and I'd like to part with eleven of them. Some are tagged with names including/from Beau Brummel, Wembley, Diamonds Men Store, May Company Shop for Men,and Gornik's Store for Men and Boys- the last three were stores that were located in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. They are all in good to very good condition. I'd like $20.00 for all of them, I'll pay the postage. See them here:

Thank you for looking.
John

I was going to ask what time period skinny ties are connected with, but a little googling turned up an answer to my own question, but feel free to add your own comments:

hmmmm. what I know about neckties:

1930’s/1940’s - ties were kinda fat. not TOO fat. they had more of a flare to them though. like they kinda curved out at the bottom. bowties were still popular as well.

1950’s/1960’s - skinny ties were popular with mods and hipsters. the flat ended tie became very popular (not pointed on the bottom). these flat-ended ties were usually skinny. I’ve seen fat ones though. my uncle gave me several of these. some were woven. one he gave me was batik.

1970’s - ties got disgustingly fat. like ties a circus clown would wear. this is the bulk of what you see at thrift stores.

1980’s - ties got ridiculously skinny. sometimes made of leather. I bought a record recently with a pic of a guy in a super-skinny, white, leather tie with round studs going down it. I also found a polka-dotted tie at a thrift store that was so skinny I didn’t think it was a tie at first. but after much examination I declaired it a necktie because it appeared to be ever so slightly tapered. and it’s constructed like a necktie.

1990’s - I remember neckties being really popular with the girls in my middle school circa 92 or so. was this true for anybody else? I can’t say there’s anything particularly interesting about 90’s ties though. average width I guess. I bet this is when novelty ties started to come into their own. like Bugs Bunny ties, etc, etc. lots of stuff graphics that were airbrushed on.

I'm almost certain these are 1950's-60's ties.

Dating the ties

I'm almost certain these are 1950's-60's ties.

Johnny, the bulk appear to be late '50s, when ties still were offered in various colors and with some designs. By the Kennedy era, the norm was solid color with minimal (if any) design. Did the sale go through yet?
